Not a how-to guide, but a manifesto and artist’s statement for our current age of informational/technological dystopia.

Interesting musings on attention economy and ecology. Inspired by bird discussion and ode to interconnectedness not only with fellow humans but the species surrounding us.

Who amongst us hasn’t wanted to throw away their phone and pull a Walden?

It didn’t help that I listened to this as an audiobook and the performer wasn’t great. Or perhaps it’s that the text itself had me thinking it was a thesis paper in the number of references and call backs to prior and future chapters. Certainly the format wasn’t what I was expecting.
The author does come up from a place of privilege in terms of education and job and time etc that is not always relatable and yet much of the book is her experience coming to these realizations and written in an overly-intellectual way.

I was just expecting something different, but for sure I'll think about the things in this book for a long time to come.
